Yet another testing edition, check out our speakers and topics this time around.

Tests and Lies (Tomas Kulich)

How many LoC does a test-less codebase need to become a complete mess? Can an ice-cream cone be a good thing? I love tests but I hate mocks; what do I do? Is human testing an insult to one’s creativity and resourcefulness? Can bugs - and therefore the need for tests - be avoided by good design?

Property based-testing (Rado Buranský)

You probably know unit & integration testing. In this talk we’ll discover an abstraction - property based testing, that automatically generates and runs hundreds of test examples for you. By the way - this is how the Scala compiler is tested.
